Warmest birthday wishes to Her Excellency Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa. Your commitment to the welfare of communities, particularly in uplifting the vulnerable and advancing social well-being, resonates deeply with our national vision of inclusive development. Your work continues to complement efforts in building dignified livelihoods and sustainable communities.

It is with immense pleasure that I participated in a dignified and philanthropic event today to mobilize resources in support of Ingutsheni Central Hospital. A healthy society is unequivocally the cornerstone upon which sustainable national development, social stability, human capital development, and economic prosperity are founded. Under the Second Republic, our commitment remains unwavering in prioritizing the health of our citizens and enhancing access to high-quality, affordable healthcare at all levels. My Administration persists in implementing multifaceted efforts towards achieving universal access to comprehensive health services. #Vision2030 #HealthForAll #IngutsheniCentralHospital #LeavingNoOneBehind

Today, I convened a meeting with the Board of the Urban Development Corporation (UDCORP), an entity under the Ministry of National Housing and Social Amenities, mandated to assist Local Authorities in planning and coordinating urban growth through the development of proper housing and related infrastructure. We reviewed the Corporation’s 2026 Strategic Plan and received updates on key projects currently underway. I am pleased to note that Knock Mallock Phase One in Norton has now attained its Compliance Certificate, enabling beneficiaries to commence construction on both residential and commercial stands. The development comprises approximately 600 serviced stands, ranging from 200sqm to 400sqm, marking an important step in the delivery of orderly and well-serviced urban settlements. As Government, we will continue to provide full support to UDCORP in driving forward sustainable, inclusive, and well-coordinated urban development across the country.

All Local Authorities Should Do This .

I am pleased to have presided over the signing of the 2026 Performance-Based Contracts at the Harare International Conference Centre this morning. Under the Second Republic, the days of 'business as usual' are behind us. These contracts are not just documents; they are a sacred pact between the Government and the people of Zimbabwe. By aligning our targets with NDS2 and our Vision 2030 goals, we are ensuring that every official, from Ministers to heads of parastatals, is held accountable for delivering tangible results.

The ceremony underscores Government’s commitment to accountability, efficiency and results-driven public service as we accelerate national development in line with #Vision2030.

Today, I officially launched the Zimbabwe National AI Strategy, a bold step towards a digitally robust and agile nation. The Strategy is anchored on four pillars: Talent and Capacity Development, Infrastructure Sovereignty, AI Adoption, and Ethical Governance. We are modernizing our education with STEM and coding while investing in cloud computing and high-performance centers to empower our research ecosystem. Our goal is a human-centric approach to technology that enhances precision agriculture, smart mining, healthcare diagnostics, and other critical areas.

It was a pleasure to welcome Rugby Africa President Herbert Mensah to State House today. His visit highlights the rising profile of Zimbabwean rugby. We celebrated our national team, the Sables. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup approaching, Zimbabwe and the Springboks will be Africa’s representatives, a testament to our resilience and excellence. I urge the entire nation to stand firm behind the Sables. Together, we will show the world the strength of the Zimbabwean spirit.

On this special occasion of International Women’s Day, I extend my warmest appreciation and respect to the incredible women of our nation and across the world. 🌸 Women remain the backbone of our families, our communities and our country. Through their strength, compassion and determination, they continue to shape a better future for generations to come. I reaffirm my commitment to building communities where women are supported, respected and given equal opportunities to thrive. Access to dignified housing and strong social support systems is essential in empowering women and strengthening our society as a whole. Today we celebrate your courage, your sacrifices and your endless contributions to our nation. Happy International Women’s Day to all women. 💐

A nation’s progress is mirrored by the strength of its friendships.During the 2026 New Year’s Reception for the Diplomatic Corps, I reaffirmed that Zimbabwe remains a friend to all and an enemy to none.Through the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2), we are building transparent,private-sector-led economy that welcomes global partnership with open arms.

Today in Jakarta, Indonesia, I had the honour of addressing the Ministerial Round Table at World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2026. @engineering_day My message was simple: engineering must move from discussion to delivery. For Zimbabwe, engineering is central to Vision 2030 , driving infrastructure modernization, industrial growth, and inclusive urban development in line with United Nations SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). I highlighted our national target of delivering one million housing units by 2030, alongside modern transport systems, water and sanitation infrastructure, renewable energy integration, and climate-resilient communities. I also reaffirmed Zimbabwe’s readiness to host and support the Engineering Capacity Building for Africa Programme Centre of Excellence , a continental platform to strengthen engineering education, promote digital innovation, support climate-smart infrastructure, and develop the next generation of African engineers. Africa must not only consume innovation. Africa must co-create it. And most importantly , deliver it. 🇿🇼 Building smarter. Building sustainably. Building towards Vision 2030.

Happy New Week. Happy New Month. This March, we roll up our sleeves and focus on what matters , delivering homes, improving our communities, and building a better Zimbabwe for all. Building Zimbabwe, brick by brick. 🧱
